Header Install!!! I have a 98 z28 and I want to buy some headers for it. Just wanna know what kind people like or dislike, and also how hard the install is. Ive heard a lot of people say the engine needs to be pulled to put on headers and stuff like that. is putting on headers somethin i could do myself or is it somethin i need to have a shop do?
thanks for all the help

i was originally going to buy jet hot lt's, but decided to get the pacesetter lt that are jet hot coated for an extra $40 over ceremic from ws6store..they said they were special order but were here in only a cupple days anyway...i saved over $100 which i was able to put towards installation and im waiting to get the car back as we speak! they looked like really good quality and think i will be really satisfied.. i highly recommend them!

Some people have their local shop install them but if you do that don't pay more than $200-300. Look around for a shop that specializes or is very familiar with ls1s. Having them installed can save alot of time and hassle if you can afford it and finding a ls1 familiar shop to get it done right is your best bet.
